  Mr. ZIMMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a young woman from New 
Jersey who is a true leader in her community. Jessica Pomerantz is a 
15-year-old student in Cresskill, NJ, who, among her many 
extracurricular activities, has become the founder of AIDS Education 
Week and the AIDS Walk at Cresskill High School.
  Jessica has been honored by her selfless commitment to helping a 
childrens' AIDS foundation and educating others about the deadly AIDS 
virus. Her dedication and hard work have also been recognized by the 
New Jersey Senate and General Assembly in a Joint Legislative 
Resolution. Jessica is an exemplary student who has been named Student 
of the Month by her high school, is a member of the varsity tennis 
team, the junior varsity softball team, the Jewish Community Center 
Youth Leadership Corp, the yearbook staff, the debate team and is a 
Spanish tutor.
  I am proud to honor Jessica for her devotion to helping others. She 
sets a wonderful example for students across the country.
